Re: Job hunting Tips

From what I understand, which is pretty little as I have no real interest in nursing in NZ, experience gained after qualification is what counts and the rules changed in March, that requires 2yrs minimum.

Yep you now need 2 years post UK registration experience to be able to apply for NZ registration.
